Demystifying Meaningful Coincidences (Synchronicities): The
Evolving Self, the Personal Unconscious, and the Creative Process
offers an original theory of the nature of meaningful coincidences
(synchronicities) and their practical use from a naturalistic
(nonsupernatural and non-Jungian) perspective. The findings are the
outgrowth of Gibbs A. Williams's forty-year investigation, both as
a professional observer of some of his synchronicity prone patients
receiving psychoanalytic psychotherapy as well as of his own
intimate experience of these intellectually challenging and
emotionally powerful occurrences. His naturalistic perspective is
in marked contrast to the findings of Jung and his followers, who
view these odd events as "channeled" messages from a transcendent
realm of spiritual reality. Instead, Williams concludes that
meaningful coincidences are the surface manifestations of an
individual's unique creative process, accommodating the "best"
available resolution of a problem for a person initially feeling
"stuck" in a seemingly intractable dilemma. While his analysis robs
the magic associated with only reacting to the "numinous uncanny
aura" associated with synchronicities, it nevertheless affirms a
wondrous appreciation for the creative capacities of each person to
order his or her own chaos. Readers are treated to a rich mine of
historical data, novel concepts, and theoretical insights drawn
from speculative philosophy, depth psychology, and esoteric occult
and spiritual traditions, and they are shown how to decode their
own synchronicities in order to be able to use their embedded
"messages" for increased self-awareness, cohesiveness, and
expanding consciousness.
